Discobobby1 Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Hi, i have a 2002 Fiesta, when i am driving the brake light sometimes comes on then off, i have checked the fluid level and i dont think it has brake pad sensors. Could it be a faulty handbrake switch? Thanks for any help. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frembrit Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 When you say brake light, do you mean the brake warning light in the instrument cluster? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke4efc Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Brake lights come on when a switch is closed behind the pedal. Chances are it just needs adjusting slightly so it's not being pressed in when the pedal isn't being touched. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack K Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 If you are talking about the brake warning light on the instrument panel on the dashboard, my 04 fiesta had the same issue. Funny enough it was the sensor in the brake fluid reservoir that failed. It had was consistently on and when I tested it by earthing it, it went off and worked normally turning on when applying the handbrake, and off when releasing the handbrake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
